Democrats are parading around this week with their most dour expressions, accusing Mitch McConnell and the Republicans of not only stealing President Obama’s rightful Supreme Court nomination but also of destroying the integrity of the Senate with their “nuclear option” approach, which eliminated the filibuster for court confirmation votes. In the meantime, they are trying their best to deflect any criticism coming their way…and there’s a whole heap of it to deflect. Some of it, indeed, is coming from within the ranks of their own party.

Among the chief critics is former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. He appeared on a Real Clear Politics podcast this week to discuss what he described as a problem the Democrats had made for themselves. Daschle, who will not ever be confused for a conservative or a Trump supporter, nonetheless said that Democrats only needed to look in the mirror if they wanted to find the people responsible for tearing down Senate norms.

“Unfortunately, Democrats have far dirtier hands when it comes to the erosion of the institutional pillars of the Senate than Republicans going all the way back to–you know, they used to do filibusters in the House and the Senate,” Daschle said. “And the Senate the House took them away in the 1830s, and the Senate began taking them away under Woodrow Wilson in 1917–then getting rid of the talking filibuster in the 70s–and then the whole budget process was a Democratic product, and that was in my view a procedural disaster.

“Then we lowered the threshold from 67 to 60,” he continued. “That was a Democratic effort. And then in 2013, we took it away completely for nominations and that was Democratic. So, Democrats who may lament this institutional deterioration, I think there’s a lot of history here that can’t be explained away.”

Well, that would suppose that Democrats had any interest in explaining anything and it would assume that they actually give a damn about the finer points of parliamentary procedure. They don’t, and Daschle knows damn well they don’t. They want to score points with their rabid base. From the moment Donald Trump was sworn in, Democrats launched their 2018 election campaign. Everything they do up until next November is for the purpose of getting the vote out. They don’t want to govern in the minority; they’re simply holding the fort down until they can turn the tables.

Hey! Remember President Obama? How you use to complain about his golfing trips and his extravagant vacations??
Trump has surpassed Obama’s YEARLY vacation expenses….. and he done in 11 WEEKS MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN… FOR HIMSELF AND CRONIES..

Many great US leaders in business and government use the golf course to conduct business. Trump is the best of these greats. He entertains foreign leaders in this manner, and is doing an amazing job of it!

Obama use the golf course to get away from really leading. He was a “community organizer,” and society disruptor, and nothing more. How many times did he head for golf when some truly embarrassing event occurred that needed his presence?

You’re using the cost of Obama trips to estimate Trump costs. Trump does not need to pay greens fees.

Although the Nuclear option was necessary, it did do one thing that is more important than losing this seat for the Democrats.

The Senate is now ruled by the mob majority. Which is something the Democrat Communists have been trying to accomplish for years… Destroy the Republic…

With Elite Democrats = Elite Republicans = Elite MEDIA… The Elites are in control. We only have 4 more years to fix this.

Term limits.

Saying we have to have term limits is only a word play. They will never vote themselves our of their cushy jobs. It’s us the people, who/must vote and vote them out of office. This is food for thought and the only way to do it..

GrizzMann

That is the voters. Yes really. A third party , forth party, the same term limits apply. This is what the voters want.

The Redhawk

it may be heading that way since INDEPENDENTS are about 46 % of Voters

Earlene Hammond

That would be great if anyone in Congress, from either party, actually cared about what the voters want! Unfortunately, they don’t. They only care about what the wealthy, elite corporate establishment wants. You know, the ones that fund their campaigns, and line their pockets? Are the American people so uninformed and dense that they really are not aware of how corrupt our government and elected officials are, in both parties, and who is actually running this country? Or do you just not want to know because otherwise you might have to face the reality that our once great country has become a self-destructing mess?

Oh and you and your butt buddies call yourselves Americans none of you fool anybody on this site and to say i’m one of you wow how insulting.

It is the Deep State you described and they have run our country for about 40 years. We don’t know yet if President Trump is controlled by them but he has become involved military industrial complex that Ike warned us about. The Deep State needs wars to make the money they want. In the past, it did not matter who was elected, they were in control. With Trump it might be different, I hope so. The big international banks have been instrumental in getting us involved in every war from The War of 1812 until today including The Civil War. Drain the swamp.

Old Vet

I believe the Deep State was responsible for the Kennedy’s demise. John warned about an ominous force right before he was assassinated.

The constitution protects the very people and process that will destroy it. Like a immune system that stops the antibody’s from killing the cancer cells.

Allowing crossover voting in primaries almost guarantees that the candidate will be a liberal and allowing independents to vote thus would amount to the same thing, since Dems would switch to “independent” and vote in Repub primaries

Kent2012

sad state of affairs in a number of states…but it is politicians that have put that mechanism in place…

It would have been true if not for Project Veritas and the release of those DNC sting videos… EVERYTHING was in place, but when Project Veritas exposed the plot, the rats were driven into the shadows… The videos have Top DNC people admitting to and bragging about the rigging of the elections for the last 10 years….

The reason the MEDIA is pushing the Russian hacking red herring is to divert our attention away from the REAL corruption which is how I described it. And they are doing it because the MEDIA is as guilty as anybody…

Watch the Project Veritas videos on Youtube and tell me where I am wrong…

iamtrue

Oh stop the people were tired of the dems BS so sit your ass down and shut up.

Both parties have done it, that is how Bush Jr won! It is the voting machines we really need to get rid of in every state because the are designed to be hacked and/or
re-programmed to rig any election! Just follow the money to see about who owns the companies that make the voting machines, and you will learn the truth.

The Elites are counting the votes…. They have turned our government from Of the people, by the people, and for the people, to OF the Elites, BY the Elites, and FOR the control of the people….

That my friend is Communism…. and they are using the same playbooks that communists have used for years.

Right from his golden spoon, he “worked” for that position. Trump was born and raised an elite, and has lived that lifestyle all his life. Along with all those things you list, he’s bought Congress critters for decades; mostly DEMS.

Sorry to burst your smile but President Trump is far from one. so take your anti BS else where.

There are many groups of Elites. The Elites I refer to are Political Elites. Of which, Trump is not one of. He may very well end up corrupted and joining that elite group, but right now, the Political Elites are fighting against Trump…

And the only allegiances we see are the type that fit under “Keep your friends close, but keep your enemy closer.”

I pray it stays that way.

Earlene Hammond

You are absolutely correct, the elites ARE in control, and have been since the Reagan era!

Go back to the post-Civil War era, when they voted themselves a private corporation in 1871, no longer beholden to “we the people” and severed the last tie that held them in any check in 1913 when they convinced the nation to move Senators from appointment by States’ legislatures to the popular vote.

I believe the problem has to do with the time our politicians are exposed to the power of office. If you leave someone in there long enough, they will end up corrupt. It is only a matter of time.

The longer they are in that environment, things fade. The reasons they went there and the people they serve become more distant, the peoples needs end up being replaced by their own need to stay in power.

Term limits would solve that issue.

iamtrue

In most cases you are absolutely correct but i feel term limits is not the answer but i do feel if we can outs them no matter how long they’er in weather it’s 6 months or 4 yrs if they’er not doing what we had put them in for we should be able to outs them in a short time and replace them with someone else.

He owns the company that manufactures the machines; the one that maintains and programs the machine; and the one that does the vote tallying: all off shore. The only way I can see to change that is bring him down.

Yep, sure is! Never vote for the same person twice = term limits. Congress will NEVER vote for term limits, NEVER will they give up their cushy and powerful jobs. If we want term limits, it must be done by us voters.

some good politicians have done the “self inflicted” term limits and gone home….others have rotted in the seat, often with paid staffers to carry the pile into the chamber to set in place and stink…

Debra(bogene)

Ted Kennedy did that.

Kent2012

ha love that self inflicted alcohol suicide…

Debra(bogene)

Yea, he did do that,, everyday. Remember JFK,Jr ? Jackie begged him to never say he would run for Senate or President. But he did finally say off-handed, that he was going to run, and he was murdered for it. Somebody did something to his plane but it was never proven. For some reason the Democrats felt that the Kennedy’s were a threat to them. Jackie left the country to keep her children safe when they were small. Strange events with Democrats.

Never underestimate the enemy within….. Spies masquerading as politicians are morphing our government from of the people, by the people, for the people, to of the ELITES, by the ELITES, and for the control of the people…

The Elites no longer work for the people, they work for themselves.

river

You already have term limits… it’s called an election.

The Redhawk

YEP….. however too many states do not allow INDEPENDENTS to Vote in the Primaries and therefore the same BUNCH of IDIOTS are on BALLOTS time after time nad keep getting re elected…

You’re right, but there is a major problem with your comment. Elections are no longer honest, if ever they were. I believe every election is rigged. Another problem. While I may vote to oust a worthless politician, how do we get California to oust Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters? There are very few non communists voting in California, same as several other states. You and I do not get to have a say over THEIR elections………and no democrat is going to vote for term limits.

The Redhawk

U hit that NAIL right on the HEAD!

California becomes more insane with each passing year.

Let them go and destroy them selves and hit rock bottom and when they do then will help.

I whole heartedly agree with election corruption. That would be a separate situation from Term Limits. Trump was proof that even corrupt political parties, corrupt elections, and election officials don’t always win. Never the less, term limits would send some of our finest politicians packing and the fruition of outstanding legislation along with it. All politicians are evil… some less than others.

jimmy midnight

You and I R both seeing, good points, and bad points, in the end of the filibuster. The Senate WAS designed with deliberation in mind. Many dictionaries list “slow” as first definition of “deliberate.”

If U really wanna C something slow, try amending the Federal Constitution, which is what you’d hafta do to get Congressional term limits. Good luck, you’ll need it.

If you want Term Limits you must support the Convention of States. And you are correct, it never has been done before, that is a long time…. May your Easter be blessed with good health, friends, family and happiness.

I’d hesitate 2 say that ANYTHING….ONLY benefits this faction or that faction. In the .long run, I dare 2 hope that the end of the filibuster will B net beneficial. (But of course U and I have very different notions of what “beneficial” is.)

1. Power Corrupts. We are putting good people into the political system and they all eventually end up corrupted. I liken DC to a big septic tank. It only seems humane to tie a rope around your politicians waist so you can pull them out for their own good.

2. We got to many laws already… All they want to do is make more of them.. Our current set of politicians have morphed the laws into serving them, not the people.

3. Which career politician do you really trust to do what is right? OR what is right for them???

Being a politician is like being a janitor in a nuke plant. For your own good, you don’t want to spend too much time next to the generators…. Or swimming in the sewage.

jimmy midnight

Voters can make those determinations. If 2 many laws is a concern 4 U, why add another?

You got me there Jimmy… Your logic is infallible. However, we live in the real world and my counterparts like and abuse laws, to follow that logic, I would never pass another law and they would just keep on passing them…

I would gladly give up 10 laws for this one law… Remember this law is just to save our Politicians from harm….

I can not tell you how many laws Liberals have passed here in CA “Just for the Children.”

BTW, It is foolish to think that voters ARE making those determinations. Haven’t you heard my theories on election fraud? 🙂

dondehoff

Jimmy, there is a crying need to both reduce and simplify laws at all levels. And, as this planet gets more populated and crowded there will be a need for even more restrictive laws

dondehoff

Jimmy, there is a much bigger problem. The Founding Fathers intended for concerned citizens to volunteer for a “stent” in congress. Now, the pay and other benefits is an overriding factor, along with the opportunity to make millions in under the table deals. I also suggest all congresspersons be paid by their respective states and maybe (just maybe) they will legislate for those who placed them in office, with salaries not to exceed three times the annual median salary of the citizens of the state being represented—when the state’s citizens make more money, their congresspersons can get a raise. Also, they should have a collective health and pension program that is identical to the state employees that they represent. with their pension being a fully Portable Defined Benefit Contributory plan– and their pension at retirement would be that which their personal pension plan would support. Also. term and age limits is a must. I suggest the House be limited to three 2-year terms and the Senate to two 4-year terms, with a House member being permitted to run for the Senate, but not vice versa. And, if an elected or appointed congressperson decides to run for any “other” government office, such as for the Oval Office, they first must resign from their present government office Also, we need immediate legislation or constitutional amendment that permits citizens to “vote out” of office any person they have “voted in”. I am not sure of the exact parameters, but the law has to be so worded that the removal can be accomplished. We might look to the Brits and copy their procedure.

jimmy midnight

We’d solve it all if everyone was paying attention like U R; but your specific remedies could never B implemented given today’s politics, and money would find a way around them in the unlikely event…

Paragraph breaks would serve U well if U wanted to reply to me when I continue 2 assert: “USA really oughta just join the civilized world in having a tax-supported, single-payer system 4 health care delivery.”

Yeah, and good luck amending the Federal Constitution so U can get Congressional term limits.

We must support Trump. But we must also realize that we have sent him into an corrosive environment and all that go in end up corrupted.
We the People can no longer just throw people into politics without watching them and keeping them grounded. Trump needs our support and guidance.
There IS a fixing of the election process because there was a corruption of the election process.
I think there are two key elements within our control that we and must do to fix the government.

1. Watch our elected politicians back, and hold them accountable for not doing what you want.
2. Term limits.

Keep the faith… We can do it.

Actually I agree with you 100%. I expect NOTHING good from government and see government – ALL GOVERNMENTS – as the most dangerous enemies of civilians. I can live with a pitiable government, but am not at all pleased it is determined to be criminal. I expect everything it does as horrible and mostly unconstitutional, but that is me, just an old woman who once absolutely LOVED her country and fellow Americans.

Prayer is probably the only sure fire way of riding our system of the evil within.

Having said that, COS is something that was designed by the Founding Fathers, and I believe they were divinely inspired.

thereasonableman

The elites have been in control since 1776, and DJT is one of them, just as was The W, GHWB, JFK etc, etc, and the elites will stay in control regardless of what party they claim. And the ones that are not born elites themselves surround themselves with the elites as they gain political power. So get used to it or join the class revolution- Lenin, Mao and Castro are the only ones who truly got rid of the elites in their countries,…until they and their cronies became the elites.

We need to get to the 60/40 threshold and pack the SCOUS with conservatives and then change the law (rule) back to 60/40.

ray Maurer

This is not helpful. Any solid comments? For instance, note that Woodrow Wilson (mentioned above) re-segregated the US military. During the Spanish/American war (1898?) and under Pershing in the Pancho Villa chase, we were successfully integrating the forces.

Recall that Democrats are the party of Slavery, and since the US Civil War, have successfully re-enslaved our black brothers and sisters. They are succeeding in aborting half of black pregnancies, which has the black race dropping as a percentage of our total population, with Hispanics growing in percentage.

Democrats support Planned Parenthood, which was founded to eventually eliminate the black race.

Yea, right !!! She ? Devil wasn’t fooling “Anybody” except for herself, and I still haven’t figured out, why the f__k, she hasn’t been prosecuted and
imprisoned !!! Furthermore, the only Deplorable person, is “She ? Devil, and her Democratic Party” !!! What really gets me too, is how damn stupid she is, to keep blaming her Presidential loss, on everyone except herself, when by
“ALL RIGHTS ” she should have been in prison, and No Way in hell should have been allowed to even think about running for President, let alone being actually allowed to run !!!

Askjrsk

Agree wholeheartedly. You are absolutely spot on!

Thank you

Joseph C Moore USN Ret

You are definitely right, Brenda. This poor community organizer (Barrack) has been a pawn of the “elitists” and performed very well for them. That is his legacy.

A_Nobody

I see you’re just another blind eyed liberal who wouldn’t recognize evidence if it slapped you. It’s there and ignored just like all evidence against the new American Communist party.

miles drake how correct you are and all you said is the truth due to research my office and i have done,the mooslum obama body count is rising and judge scalia was the victim of Obama and Hillary he found out about their child trafficking https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cd1834c527f777961cb99878620b51f7f93a370e5073e2afe12c021f7e0c7fd7.jpg out of the white house, and the parties held where children were raped tortured, murdered wikkileaks found email from hillary to obama proving this recently, remember FBI calls HOTDOGS–LITTLE BOYS AND PIZZA—LITTLE GIRLS, that is what president meant when he said drain the swamp rats out of government, seth rich worked for dnc for hillary he sent info to Julian assange@Wikileaks, it was not russia that leaked info but seth rich,, he was shot in the back day before going to fbi comey for an appointment comey tipped hillary off seth was shot, seth found out that podesta and 30 other government employees are pedophiles, the corruptions and murders runs deep

Askjrsk

Hold the pillow! Perfect. That’s what happened. You’re so right on!

iamtrue

Yea and i still wonder of other mysterious deaths.

seersuckerandapanama

Yes, we have reason to suspect fowl play in Scalia’s death, especially with the transcript of communication in February of 2016 between John Podesta and a Democrat operative who also worked for Monsanto, which had lost a case before the Supreme Court with Scalia in the majority.

Joseph C Moore USN Ret

“foul play” (Fowls are birds- like chickens)

My country

Those of us who remember Daschle knows exactly what he is . During his big home tour of his state he got the worst responses ever by a politician seeking out his constituents. The funny thing was he made a big tv promotion about it . Every person he tried to talk to had nothing good to say to him! People of South Dakota threw him out . One of the worst Presidents to even mention as an example is Woodrow Wilson . The Democrat who up the Democratic KKK to kill more blacks and undesirables. In one year he had 3000 blacks killed by all manners of death and 1300 whites including the youngest congressman to ever be elected . After South Dakota threw that bum out he (Daschle ) moved to Washington to be a lobbyist. As a matter of fact he (Daschle)was sent anthrax in the mail because he was so hated.

But the killing of blacks by the political left still takes place, just under a different venue. They now use the abortion clinics to murder over 1,000,000 babies every year, and the majority of those murders are of black babies.

From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions have occurred in the U.S. (AGI). The democrats have managed to continue getting rid of blacks,and it amazes me that ANY black could bring himself to vote for those who willingly sanction deaths of babies, particularly BLACK BABIES.

My country

It never ceases to amaze me how many still stand with democrats!Especially Hillary . The stats came out a couple of months ago, there has been over 53 million Americans aborted since it was made legal . Why they don’t believe Sangers own words is beyond . Planned Parenthood hood just gave Hillary an award . Well PP was started for the soul purpose of killing blacks and undesirables.Well she is most certainly our worst undesirables. It seems that they can’t use their killing machine the KKK that would be too obvious so they continue to use this murder machine . Since they can’t hang them they just cut their heads offf in the womb .

In 2018, voters need to vote either Independent or Republican. Whatever you do, do Not vote for the Democrats.
Pelosi, Schumer, and Muslim Keith Ellison of Minnesota, need to be sent packing.
They still want taxpayers to pay for welfare for illegals, and they want to continue bringing thousands and thousands of Quran reading Muslims, into America. Stop their reign of terror.

Austinniceguy

Excellent points!!! Watch this, it drives your point about those cockroaches that are being taken in as “refugees”, home. They have ruined Europe.

If we don’t stay the course we will end up just like Europe and their stupid, liberal policies. The ONLY thing that will stand in the way of the libturd morons of this country will be if President Trump is able to get 2 more judges into the SCOTUS. That will ruin any libturd plans for a couple of decades. Here is what is happening to Europe because of their policies…

It really is the HIGH HYPOCRISY of the (D) Anarchists that they Make CONVENIENT CHANGES but when the Shoe is on the other foot they seem to be UNWILLING to PLAY by the DUMBASSED RULES they MAKE…..( Obama care being one example….the Biden rule…and the Reid Rule )…. and when they have to LIVE under these Rules they resort to Name calling and really STUPID ACTIONS like obstruction nad filibusters to achieve NOTHING but waste of time……I never was a DASCHLE fan but the Man is RIGHT…..The (D) Anarchy party seems bent in Reducing the US Senate into a CESSPOOL …. way to go UPCHUCK the CLOWN and KOMRADS!!!!

I love this…. the destruction of the ShariaCrats by us Trumpists. We are only getting started….. I cant wait for 2018. The nuclear option will allow Trump the option of assigning 125 federal judges in his term, without a filibuster. MAGA!!

that’s what you get for listening to oboma and reid, now suffer with it, the gop warned you it would come back to bite you, you still ain’t talking about how oboma cost you the house , the senate and the presidency , plus all the state seats you had , over 1000 lost because of the worthless freak, maybe one day you will listen to we the people , instead of the criminals

Actually I don’t believe they are capable of listening, or reasining, or logic, or reality. I think they are certifiably NUTS.

george briar

just imagine how boring it would be in Washington without the democrats screwing up everything and crying about any good trying to get done. It would seem that progress and direction are two things they hate and the real reason they hate Trump as he tries to implement both. Don’t understand their problem but am tired of watching and listening to the jerkoffs and just wish they were gone so this country can get back to normal and great. Trump is the person to accomplish it no doubt but the democrats don’t want it to happen. yeah doesn’t make sense at all.

Edward B. Levy

DemoNcrats were the reason that I left the party after 30 years. No, I did not become a Republican, I became and still am an INDEPENDENT. I Pick and choose as best that I can. Yes, in most cases it is what I see as the “lesser-of-two-evils. Example, it was clearly Trump over the evil witch. I have vote for Biden over Trump, but not sure. Perhaps Huckabee over Trump, or Pence over Trump, or Haley over Trump. No way: Clinton, Sanders, Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, Franken. Of course it is difficult to really get information by using te corrupt, biased media, so it takes a huge amount of effort to pick a candidate for any office, Local, State, or National. YES Mr President the SWAMP is filthy and dangerous.

Earlene Hammond

Unfortunately, since he drained the swamp, every replacement he provided is as much or more of a predator than the ones he got rid of! Every one of them are corporatists, who seem to want to delete all the programs that the people want and need, so they can divert more federal subsidies and corporate welfare to the wealthy. So, I’m still waiting to see what he is going to do to help the people who elected him, rather than giving more tax breaks to the wealthy, just like it has been for almost 40 years! He said this week that we wants to discontinue social security deductions from paychecks as a middle class tax reduction! That is not going to help anyone to have the social security fund completely depleted to nothing! Plus, one of his campaign promises was to leave Social Security and Medicare alone, yet Paul Ryan keeps trying to eliminate, privatize, or reduce Medicare, a plan that he sneaked into the Health Care bill that was presented a few weeks ago. If either of those are reduced in any way, can you imagine the outrage and ensuing chaos that would be caused by and for all the many millions of baby boomer senior citizens, and future generations?

I’ve been reading all these nasty comments and insulting terminology used to describe democrats, and about how awful and stupid they are, on and on! What about the stupid Bush father and son? It would appear that none of you seem to have a clue that both parties are being controlled by the same corporate establishment elite! The feelings of disparity really no longer should be between republicans vs democrats, because that is so divisive at a time when we (the working class) need to stand up and take our country back from the wealthy corporatists who are the ones to blame for all this anger, frustration, job loss, increased cost of living, as well as much of the massive debt! Until the average people realize and accept who the real enemy is, instead of the propaganda they feed us, and the corporate media that backs them up, we the people will never be able to accomplish anything for the good of the people or the country we live in.

We must never let the democrats back into power if we want our nation to survive.

DemoKKKrats are the lowest form of life on earth. The NAZI party killed over 15,000,000 people. Just like the dems they started with old people and those with mental problem. With ODUMBIE CARE. But the libs have also KILLED OVER 61,000,000 BABIES

Ya, but most of those babies were future Demon-Crats. I hate abortion, however I almost want them to continue with their self annihilating agenda.

Wasn’t Daschle in charge for a lot of those years of scandal?

Morton99

The so called ‘nuclear’ option is a euphemism for justifying the unconstitutional method of voting majorities which was supposed to make the Senate more deliberative and less democratic. Inevitably it failed. For a bit I expect there will be payback from whichever party forms a government. But there will be a cost to ramming legislation down the throats of what is likely to be about half the nation – whoever wins. When that phenomenon is properly understood I believe there will evolve a far more moderate way of legislating.

R Monty

GOOD LUCK!! THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY GEARED UP AND ROLLING FORWARD TOWARDS A 2018 SWEEP!! YOU DEMOCRATS SHOT YOURSELF IN YOUR ONLY ONE FOOT YOU GOT LEFT!! REMEMBER THE OBAMA FIASCO? YEAH THE GUY YOU RUSHED INTO THE FREY, JUST TO PROVE YOU COULD!! WELL HOW DID THAT WORK OUT? ARE YOU HAPPY, KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING HE SAID AND DID WAS A DISASTER!! IT TOOK HIM 8 YEARS TO REALLY SCREW UP THIS COUNTRY!! REPEALING ALL HIS BOMBS IS NOT TAKING AS LONG THAN HIM MAKING THEM THOUGH!! SO REST ASSURED, WE WILL KEEP REMINDING YOU ALL ABOUT HOW IT ALL STARTED WITH WOODROW WILSON AND KEPT GETTING WORSE RIGHT UP TO TODAY!! OH!! I ALMOST FORGOT, BETTER GET A LAWYER THAT KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND A CONSERVATIVE COURT ROOM!! YOU ARE ALL UNDER THE SURVEILLANCE OF A REAL POLICE FORCE!!

Chuck

It is often repeated that radical Islam (is there any other?) is the greatest threat to our nation. Not so. The greatest threat is the Dimwitocrat Party. What was once the great peoples party of Roosevelt and Truman, it has deteriorated to an undisciplined rabble that is only interested in subsisting on the public dole, thus creating slavery of another kind, and undermining all that was once tradition, pride and service for the country. It started with Johnson and has terminated, I hope, with Bathhouse Barry Soetoro–and his many other aliases. My father kept a picture of Roosevelt in our front window. I am sure he would not do so with the moral anti-American degenerates that have followed.

Every once in a while a Demon-Crat speaks the truth, and of all people it is Daschle. My, My, My, things must really be getting bad for them. Oh well, they created the elephant in the room now they have to live under their rules. It was nice to see the Republicans do to them what they do to us for a change.

Most democrat politicians ,the alt left media ,liberal elites and IMO at least,Pelosi ,Harry Reid ,Obama ,Susan Rice ,the Clintons cashing in and Schumerclown are a discrace .
Modern Dem’s and the alt-left have no regard for America and Americans ,free speech or the USC beyond vote harvesting immigrants and minoritys for liberal voiting blocks and profits . These are not the liberals or dem’s I grew up with in the 1960’s by a country mile .
Dems have swindled Americans since 1964 and put up bad libaral policy failures one after the other and turned alt-left from the legitimate 1960-1963 JFK democrats.

Democrats were the party of Slavery in the south then as now but they’ve taken it to the globalists and blue coasts now caveat emptor

The democrat & RINO party retardation continue to worsen with each passing year…soon even the indoctrinated useful full idiot’s will be able to discern the retardation progression getting ever worse.

How dose acting like barbaric uncivilized spoiled special needs politicians going to draw in votes. I doubt Americans want the chaos, lies, deceit, hate, bigotry and Hypocrisy of the leftist communist wanna-be dictator Obama, and his uncivilized, uneducated, greed and power addicts back in office, in jail maybe, but not in any kind of power position. The only thing obama has brought to our civilized, law and order nation is making corruption of government common knowledge and common practice, as it’s always been, but not acknowledged in public, (AKA Hypocrisy), although every honest hardworking American could clearly see through the lies and bullshit. the spread of the barbaric attitude thru out our corporate world, our schools and colleges, the fake media, and the basic hateful, bigotry and hypocrisy towards anyone with an opinion that differs from the dictated belief by their dictator indoctrinators, a disrespect towards our government, our citizens, (unless your filthy rich) the desecration of everything that made this country the greatest In the world, the spread of terrorisum thru out the world, and America. The sick need of these black hearts to be in power with access to every American taxpayer dollar, and the goal to eliminate Americans, especially white Americans, obama wants seated in the back of the preverbal bus, (as punishment for a history in which none of us were alive). Yea, I don’t see where there is enough intelligence or value of a civilized society, common sense, or respect for the government or constitution our AMERICAN forefathers put
In place to insure the the voice of the people were heard. Just in case the extream
Left, and indoctrinators know, the American government set to be governed,
“FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE! The extream Democrat leftist (AKA COMMUNIST DICTATORS) will not acknowledge those beneath the superior
Society of greedy and forced power, therefore the hate and violence towards the average citizen is Essential to the barbaric commiunist wanna-be dictators agenda
To eliminate any rements of our civilized country and government. It defies logic
And common sense to allow the anti-American politicians and citizens to remain
Unpunished for the treason against America and Our Citizens. Maybe we should revert back to hanging for treasonous acts and or the disrespect of American laws flag and constitution and common decency, should be hung publicly, to remind all with ill will towards America, our citizens, constitution and civilized society, that
we will not allow the corruption, unconstitutional disrespect or invasion of America
By anybody, no matter where they were born, or who they think they are! America
Is and always has been a country of law and order, because without it, you have the uncivilized hate, division and violence that obama has unleashed and encouraged in our government, and our society!

Dannie Poe

Political Correct (the Democrats platform) has ruined the Senate. It has ruined the House as well. When Washington stopped being Constitutional Correct it corrupted our US Government. It corrupts it still. Only by being Constitutional Correct will we return sanity to our government. We elect representatives to follow, support, and defend our US Constitution. When they refuse to comply with their oath of office they fail the people they represent. Refusing to accept our US Constitution as the Law of the Land they fail every US Citizen regardless of Party.

The Democrat party was taken over by the Communist Party 70 years ago, and since they have been taken over they’ve adopted their ways, and that is if you cross us we will we will bury you physically or mentally!

Bella Gray

The Democrat Party are communist globalists, and it is passed time for our government to go in and arrest them for treason. Communism is illegal in America.

Also see further comments, from other professionals, at the end, and the last portion on the 2nd attachment that finishes on the third.

The Communist Control Act (68 Stat. 775, 50 U.S.C. 841-844) is a piece of United States federal legislation, signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower on 24 August 1954, which outlaws the Communist Party of the United States and criminalizes membership in, or support for the Party or “Communist-action” organizations and defines evidence to be considered by a jury in determining participation in the activities, planning, actions, objectives, or purposes of such organizations. —Shown below
—•—
Communism is also illegal by Article VI, the Supremacy Clause.
The Communist Democrats are Globalists. Communism is illegal in America. For it to be in America it would have to make our Constitution null and void, as communism violates Article VI the Supremacy Clause. The Constitution is the supreme law of our land. Globalists would write laws that govern the world, that would bypass our Congress, bypass “We The People.” That makes it in direct conflict with our Constitution. Our Congress writes laws and no one else, not even the president. Obama was writing illegal executive orders and had turned rogue — tyrannical.

Also: The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952

Sec. 2. The Congress hereby finds and declares that the Communist Party of the United States, although purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States. It constitutes an authoritarian dictatorship within a republic, demanding for itself the rights and privileges accorded to political parties, but denying to all others the liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Unlike political parties, which evolve their policies and programs through public means, by the reconciliation of a wide variety of individual views, and submit those policies and programs to the electorate at large for approval or disapproval, the policies and programs of the Communist Party are secretly prescribed for it by the foreign leaders of the world Communist movement. Its members have no part in determining its goals, and are not permitted to voice dissent to party objectives

It is illegal to organize any group for the purpose of overthrowing the Untied States. To claim that you ‘believe’ in something – is completely different from actually organizing a group that intends to carry out and practice beliefs – such as Sharia law. Treason against the United States Constitution.

The Internal Security Act:

Sec. 4. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to combine, conspire, or agree, with any other person to perform any act which would substantially contribute to the establishment within the United States of a totalitarian dictatorship

Communism McCarran-Walter Act of 1952
According to the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952. If you haven’t heard of it, here is the description. “Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions but he President, whenever the President finds that the entry of aliens or of any class of aliens into the U.S. would be detrimental to the interests of the U.S. The President may, by proclamation, and for such a period as he shall deem necessary, may suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants or impose any restrictions on the entry of aliens he may deem to be appropriate.” The first POTUS to use this was a Democrat, Jimmy Carter, in 1979. He used this Act to keep Iranians out of the U.S. He went farther than just banning Iranians, he made all Iranian students in the U.S. check in with the government. Then he deported a bunch of them. 7,000 were in violation of their visas, and a total of 15,00 Iranians were forced to leave the USA in 1979. So, you have to wonder why President Trump is demonized for protecting us against the enemy.

Congress passes Communist Control Act
Com Control Act 1954
Congress passes the Communist Control Act in response to the growing anticommunist hysteria in the United States. Though full of ominous language, many found the purpose of the act unclear.

In 1954, the Red Scare still raged in the United States. Although Senator Joseph McCarthy, the most famous of the “red hunters” in America, had been disgraced earlier in the summer of 1954 when he tried to prove that communists were in the U.S. Army, most Americans still believed that communists were at work in their country. Responding to this fear, Congress passed the Communist Control Act in August 1954. The act declared that, “The Communist Party of the United States, though purportedly a political party, is in fact an instrumentality of a conspiracy to overthrow the Government of the United States.” The act went on to charge that the party’s “role as the agency of a hostile foreign power renders its existence a clear and continuing danger to the security of the United States.” The conclusion seemed inescapable: “The Communist Party should be outlawed.” Indeed, that is what many people at the time believed the Communist Control Act accomplished.

A careful reading of the act, however, indicates that the reality was a bit fuzzier. In 1950, Congress passed the Internal Security Act. In many respects, it was merely a version of the Communist Control Act passed four years later. It used the same language to condemn communism and the Communist Party of the United States, and established penalties for anyone belonging to a group calling for the violent overthrow of the American government. However, it very specifically noted that mere membership in the Communist Party, or affiliated organizations, was not in and of itself sufficient cause for arrest or penalty. The 1954 act went one step further by removing the “rights, privileges, and immunities attendant upon legal bodies created under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States” from the Communist Party. The Communist Control Act made it clear that “nothing in this section shall be construed as amending the Internal Security Act of 1950.” Thus, while the Communist Control Act may have declared that the Communist Party should be outlawed, the act itself did not take this decisive step.

In the years to come, the Communist Party of the United States continued to exist, although the U.S. government used legislation such as the Communist Control Act to harass Communist Party members. More ominously, the government also used such acts to investigate and harass numerous other organizations that were deemed to have communist “leanings.” These included the American Civil Liberties Union, labor unions, and the NAACP. By the mid-to-late 1960s, however, the Red Scare had run its course and a more liberal Supreme Court began to chip away at the immense tangle of anticommunist legislation that had been passed during the 1940s and 1950s. Today, the Communist Party of the United States continues to exist and regularly runs candidates for local, state, and national elections.

…The Supreme Court of the United States has not ruled on the act’s constitutionality, and civil libertarians remain divided on the issues of the constitutionality and wisdom of the act. No administration has tried to enforce it. Congress began to dismantle SACA in 1968 when it repealed the provisions relating to the registration with the attorney general of Communist-action and Communist-front organizations and of members of Communist-action organizations. In 1993 it repealed all the other provisions of SACA as they related to the party. By this time, the Soviet Union, and with it the world Communist movement, had collapsed, the Cold War had ended, and the Communist Party of the United States had dwindled into complete insignificance.http://www.encyclopedia.com/history/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/communist-control-act-1954

… THE ACT IN A POST-COMMUNIST WORLD

The provisions of the act “outlawing” the party have not been repealed. A tiny remnant of the party continued to exist into the twenty-first century under its lifetime leader, the octogenarian and unregenerate Gus Hall. It maintains a Web site. But it did not participate in any federal or gubernatorial elections in 2002. There is no evidence that it appeared in any state or local election, but there is a report that it may have been on the ballot in an election in the Bronx, New York.

Despite the irrelevance of the act here at home, the controversy over its consistency with democratic principles has important international implications. Many nations have laws outlawing totalitarian organizations. The United States may have to take a position on whether democratic principles give legitimacy to Muslim fundamentalist movements, such as those in Algeria and Pakistan, that seek political power by legal means only to crush democracy. The Communist Control Act is a precedent for not tolerating intolerant political movements.

Communist-action organizations were defined as organizations substantially controlled by the foreign government controlling the world Communist movement (that is, the Soviet Union), and operated primarily to advance the objectives of that movement.

Communist-front organizations

Communist-front organizations were defined as organizations substantially controlled by a Communist Action organization, a Communist foreign government, or the world Communist government.

Communist-infiltrated organizations Communist-infiltrated organizations were defined as organizations substantially controlled by persons actively engaged in giving aid or support to a Communist-action organization, a Communist foreign government, the world Communist movement, or in impairing the military strength of the United States or the industrial capacity of the United States to furnish logistical or other material means of support required by the armed forces of the United States.

O’REILLY GOES THERE: Accuses Democrats of Pushing Communism in America (Video)
Tonight in his Talking Points Memo FOX News host Bill O’Reilly accused Democrats of pushing communism on America.

“Here comes Socialism… Obamacare is just part of the strategy of the forced sharing of American assets… It’s a socialist-communist vision that the state should provide all citizens a certain lifestyle, at the expense of other citizens. If healthcare was a constitutional right then everything associated with health would fall into the civil rights category. That’s a form of communism.“—Bill O’Reillyhttp://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/10/oreilly-goes-there-accuses-democrats-of-pushing-communism-in-america-video/

FILES SHOWING COMMUNISM AS IT INFILTRATED THE DEMOCRAT PARTY This is a hard read, but at least skim it down to Sen Ted Kennedy and then begin reading some. You will soon understand that the Communist own the souls of the Democrats. By the way Communist is illegal in America. They were set into place after WWII and never repealed although some tried. It also violates the Constitution, Article VI, the Supremacy clause, as Communism is an alternative form of government.
The Communists and Democrats are in it thick!

Mr. Daschle is correct. The democrats will not pick up seats in the 2018 elections but will lose seats because of their pandering to the alt-left and their total negativity. If Trump gets the wall started and a decent healthcare bill through Congress along with tax reform, the loser democrats will have no hope in Congress in 2018 and the Presidency in 2020.

It appears to me that the Senate has been returned to what was intended in the first place before Democrat meddling to stack the deck so to speak.

Steve Harr

Lets me see, the Dems lost Congress, the President,the favoritism of the people because of Trump….hummm…
Could it really be that the people saw thru their out right bullshit, or their narcissistic ways, or their lying to people to get votes, or bringing in illegals for vote, or resurrecting the dead to vote, or just maybe Hillary’s changing of her dialect from Northern to southern to western to try to convince people she wasn’t a crook AND A LIAR???????????

It breaks my heart that in previous generations, we had a wonderful America. with God loving, patriotic American citizens. And THEN came the (Destruction) – THE LIBERALS. THEY are the ones who have (watered) it down so much, it’s hardly (Recognizable) anymore. They stand for everything that’s bad, nothing good. They are cheaters, liars, murderers, corrupt, hating, destructive, so-call human beings??? They wreak havoc onto we (remaining patriotic America loving citizens.) – That Evil, Nasty, Maniac Madman (California professor) who said our President should be (hung), and Republicans should be (executed), IS the EPITOME of (what has Happened) to America. I suggest that that piece of (garbage) and (Every Liberal should be (MOAB-ed along (with) North Korea, FOR ALMOST DESTROYING OUR BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. The stinking liberals actually think that (They) are the (Only Ones Who Belong Here.) We’re the ones who (belong) here, because (we) love America. While (They Hate America) – Anyone got any ideas?

FROM A REGISTERED ROOSEVELT DEMOCRAT. MY PARTY HAS NEARLY DESTROYED THE USA, NOT JUST THE PARTY. THEY ARE NOW FOR EVERYTHING THAT HURT US INSTEAD OF TRYING TO HELP. MY COUNTRY COMES FIRST AFTER GOD AND FAMILY.

YOU ALL AND THIS GOVERNMENT HAD BETTER WORRY ABOUT THE MUSLIMS HERE AT HOME.

PUBLIC LAW 414, PAGE 2, SECTION 212, WAS PASSED IN 1952 THAT BANS ALL PEOPLE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTY, AND MUSLIMS QUALIF TO BE DEPORTED. READ THE QURAN, THEIR BIBLE.

COULD IT BE THAT OBAMA HAS SET US UP FOR HIM TO LEAD A MUSLIM INVASION OF OUR COUNTRY? READ THEIR BIBLE, THE QURAN.

IF NOT,

WHY ARE THERE 5 MUSLIM CAMPS IN N. VIRGINA, CLOSE TO DC.

WHY TRY AND BUY UP ALL AMMO AND TAKE OUR GUNS.

WHY ALLOW IN EXCESS OF 36 MUSLIM CAMPS. (PERHAPS HUNDREDS)

(BUILD A FEMA CAMP IN EVERY STATE? SOME STATE HAS MORE THAN ONE. BUILT AND SUPPORTED BY YOUR TAX MONEY.
